Diversity of enterobacterales in sediments of lagoons with fish farming activity and analysis of antibiotic resistance.

ABSTRACT: The use of antibiotics in fish production can induce bacterial populations to develop resistance to multiple antibiotics and transfer antibiotic resistance genes to other bacteria, including clinically relevant bacteria. This study evaluated the diversity of Enterobacterales in sediment from lagoons with fish farming activity and analyzed antibiotic resistance in the central region of Peru. Sediment samples were collected from four fish-active ponds and transported to the laboratory for analysis. Bacterial diversity was analyzed using DNA sequencing and antibiotic resistance was tested using the disk diffusion method. The results showed variability of bacterial diversity in the ponds with fish farming activity. Simpson's index indicated that the Habascocha lagoon is the most diverse in bac
